I don't see a reason why it is a problem for Pro Players Owning Race Horses ??
It has been going on for Years !! Going back to the Early 80's Lou Piniella headed a Major Partnership with Roy White and like 6 other Ball Players.
They had Owned somewhere like 20-30 Standardbreds.
All kind of Pro Players have owned Race Horses, NHL,NFL,MLB, Boxing, etc.
Wayne Chrebet has made a name for himself Also in the Harness Business
He owns or had owned a lot of Very Good Horses in the past 8 Years.
Now it wasn't always that much fun for him. As his First couple of horses that he bought, He got Ripped off by his first Trainer ( taken for a Ride )
Spent like $100K on a couple of horses that wasn't worth a Ham Sandwich
But he Loved it so much and gave it another shot. And it has Paid off.
Going as far as Holding a Trainers Lic. and now a Drivers Lic. for Harness Racings.
There is One Major Golden Rule in the Horse Business, As a Owner or Trainer. You Can Bet on the horses, But You Can't Bet another Horse, if you have a Horse that you Own or Train in the Same Race !
And like Others have Already Said, Horse Racing is Legal ! Just about Everywhere.
